Oh the joys of early season PR...I wonder if Holy Cross can hang on to that 23 seed.

Has Lafayette fired their coach yet? He's not the #1 seed in the first Power Rankings release. What's going on at Lafayette High?
You also got to think that some of the teams who were smart enough to go to a tournament whose fields actually drained have a leg up in these power rankings. Shout out to Coach Ray who did a great job this weekend.

St Pauls, Jesuit, Denham Springs and St Amant are the best 4. Catholic will be fine once they let their head coach play the best 11. Lots of politics in that program historically and very entitled families. Does the illuminati control their head coach? Who is this mysterious "they?"

Who is this mysterious "they?" They is the program. The parents and dollars dictate way to much at Catholic. They (Catholic) by no means have the top 11 players on the field. When the JV is tying the Varsity you might have a problem.

Is little Timmy, or yourself, not starting?

If the JV is tying the varsity then you have a strong program with fairly even players. So, it sounds like a bunch of parents who believe in a conspiracy and aren't at practice every day need to get over themselves and let the man coach.

That’s some funny Stuff and a great analogy. My point on the JV kids was based on the concepts of St. Paul and Jesuit. The best 11 play and the grade level is irrelevant. There is little to no pecking order. I have no kids playing but do love going and watching between 5-8 games per week. Even More if I can catch rain free tournaments. The catholic program has a great coach and needs zero input from the school or parents.

The catholic program has a great coach and needs zero input from the school or parents. I don't know what your level of understanding is of how CHSBR soccer works but as somebody who has been involved in the program for several years I'd like to clear things up. Mateus is one of the best coaches in the baton rouge area. Sanders Davis is the best program manager that you could ask for and does a great job of developing the athletes in the weight room. Kyle Carmouche and BJ (both former chs soccer players) are great coaches with the JV/freshman teams. All of them follow the ideals of the brothers of the sacred heart that the school represents to a T and care for all of their players, regardless of their ability on the field or varsity, jv, freshman status. The program has been on the rise for the last 5 years. Catholic had 1 win at this point in the season 3 years ago when they made it to the finals. This is a program that lost 2 seniors from last year to college programs, which is as many or more than any program in the state. The senior class at catholic this year started with 23(maybe more) club players when they came in as a freshman class. Now there are 18 of them left on the varsity team. Please explain to me why you would want to cut any of those seniors who have given up weekends, and gone to 6am morning workouts, 3 times a week, for 4 or 5 years. The guys on jv are good quality club players, but they knew when coming to catholic that they were entering a program full of club players and they were guaranteed nothing. In that program everything is earned through hard work. Without giving you details of any individual players financial standing I can guarantee you that wealthy donors to the school have had their student athlete put on JV. I have read your posts over the past few days about the school and program and they are misleading at best and usually untrue. Don't disparage a great program with a good reputation. And please don't disparage any of those coaches who are doing a phenomenal job, just as they have for the past 3 years which included a state finals appearance, a semi, final appearance, and a number 2 overall power ranking.

brsoccer45, why do you think seniors need to be cut to make room for underclassmen on varsity? You were careful not to say that some of the JV players were just not better than some on varsity, just that they knew the situation coming in.
There is no rule I can find that says seniors have to be on varsity unless it is a school/coach mandate. Doubt that is true at Catholic.
There is no rule I can find that limits the number of players on the varsity roster, again unless the school/coach mandates it.

I agree with great coaches and have said so in every single post. My point has been the limiting of younger players that are better than the seniors. Essentially I’m of the opinion that four years of hard work is not a guaranteed spot if a Freshman is the best player let it rip. I do think that there are influences on the staff. That’s not my formulated thoughts but many of those in their program. Are they right who knows? Should Catholic win a state Title? I hope they do.

If a program isn’t playing the best players then they are doing wrong by the kids. Life is about competing and my hope is my child would sit the bench if he wasn’t deserving of the spot. You can learn as much from disappointment. Just my thoughts. Not sure this is the case.

Great team to watch if you get a chance.

Varsity (high school) can have as many players on a roster as they can fit. No limit.

They (Catholic) by no means have the top 11 players on the field. When the JV is tying the Varsity you might have a problem. not exactly. We are playing soccer. Weaker teams (yes even the JV teams) can get results. I personally played for Jesuit not too long ago and when we played our JV we tied 1-1. Soccer is a sport where anything can happen and that’s why it’s magical. One mistake and bam you’re down 1-0 trying to fight your way back on top but goals are hard to come by when it seams everything is going or or being blocked by defenders or keepers.

Heard from a couple of parents that the JV should have beaten the Varsity. I was told the scrimmage was played on the Varsity's defensive half for most of the scrimmage. From what I heard it was not magical.

From what I heard it was not magical. Still doesn’t mean anything. Just put yourself in a varsity player’s shoes. Coach comes out and goes we’re scrimmaging JV today. Of course all the JV kids are going to be pumped and ready to play, but how many varsity kids are actually going to be tuned in ready to go into battle. I’m high school soccer if another team wants it more than you it’s not hard to get slapped around.

OK. I happen to know a lot of the kids at Catholic on JV and Varsity. Have seen their Varsity play a couple of times. I have a different opinion.
